do you make any reactions when you come across someone smoking a cigarette?

secretbear @secretbear (19448) • Philippines 14 Jun 07

I'm not being sensitive or everreacting, but whenever I come across someone smoking a cigarette, I either wrinkle my nose, cover my nose and mouth with my hand or hanky, or wave my hand like a fan in front of my nose/face to clear...

sunnywaters I relieve stress by working outside my home. Yard work, bring in wood logs for the fireplace, anything that is physical. It breaks up the stress that is in my mind and makes me calm again. sunnywaters

Do you give beggars money??

subin_loyolite @subin_loyolite (262) • India 11 Oct 07

Well it is a pity usually when we see beggars coming in front of us and beg for money..... If for a second we think us in their situation, immediately we give them some money... How do you react to them??

sunnywaters It depends on who is doing the begging. I look at their clothes, shoes and their eyes. I gave money to a man with a child who needed gasoline. It felt good. But I have also given money to a drunk which did not feel so good. It is a tough call - personally, I...

sunnywaters Good for you! Learning to be independent is crucial I think these days as we have far too many other people telling us what to do and how to do it. Saving money is sane and intelligent. You are wise doing this. sunnywaters

US Dollar and Canadian Dollar are Equal

spcbrass @spcbrass (1190) • United States 28 Sep 07

The US dollar and the Canadian dollar are finally equal. It has been almost 30 years since the Canadian dollar has been so strong and the US Dollar so weak. Still goods that you can buy in the US for $500 you have to pay over $600...

sunnywaters The dollar is weak across the planet and goods and services are losing in the quality department. I am glad Canada and the U.S. are finally equal but we have a long way to go to increase the quality of life on our planet - not just monetarily. sunnywaters
